Art Website PSD TUTS+ has chosen what they think are the Coolest Comic Book Covers of All Time and they've chosen the cover on the LEFT as Alex Ross' contribution to the list.I beg to differ!
As far as Batman covers go it IS great although I prefer the one on the RIGHT. But after everything Alex has done for Marvel, DC, Dynamite and others, there should be so many other covers in there from Marvels to Justice and The Last Phantom. Which do you consider Alex's best cover? Sound off in the comments here, on Facebook or Twitter.
Thanks to our friend Graeme for pointing me towards this list.

The two covers from Wizard #42(I think) one with the 60's Marvels heroes and the other with the 60's villains are very good
Astro City wise, Dark Age Book Four #2 with Mirage is good but I think issue #3 the next issue with the Pale Horseman might be the better. The 2nd Silver Agent special is another strong one. The Confession HC another one I like...
So, so many choices...
Indeed, there are so many choices. Only the Astro City covers are a handful, imagine all of Alex's body of work!
True, that's what I'm more familiar with over the last decade or so. I know there are other marvelous images I've forgotten about or haven't seen...
Looking at their list though, it's way, way too Batman and X-Men biased. Some of them are good or unique, but some strike me as blah.
Actually I agree with their Ross selection. It shows a bit more bravery and I like the throwback look. Astrozac is spot on though that his early Wizard 43 "Heroes" and "Villains" are some of the most wicked works he's done. As far as the rest of their cover choices, a few of the ones were creative (Dali, Van Gogh) but many I thought didn't seem to be a big deal.
